Our Story

Bred with Purpose,
Raised with Love

Our story begins with a beautiful English Labrador named Charlotte. When Bradley and I first started dating, he introduced Maya and me to his stepfather, who had been breeding English Labradors for years. During that visit, he gifted us Charlotte, a puppy who would become much more than a family pet.

At the time, Bradley and I were becoming more serious, and we knew that many changes would be ahead. For several years, it had been just Maya and me. As our lives began to merge, we wanted something that could help bring us together and create a sense of stability and connection during a season of transition.

Charlotte became that bridge.

The Full Story

Our Story.
Our Commitment.

From the very beginning, Charlotte was gentle, loyal, and incredibly intuitive. She quickly formed a special bond with Maya and became a constant source of comfort, companionship, and joy. Looking back, it's hard to imagine our family story without her.

Over the next few years, our family continued to grow. Bradley and I got married, welcomed our son Christopher, and began building the life we had always envisioned together. As we talked more about our future, we realized that one of our greatest goals was to create a home-centered life where our children could grow up surrounded by family, faith, and purpose.

Charlotte remained at the center of so many of those moments.

She helped turn a house into a home and gave Maya a companion during one of the biggest transitions of her life.

Not only is Charlotte an exceptional Labrador with an outstanding pedigree, but she showed us firsthand the incredible impact a well-bred dog can have on a family. That experience inspired Patton Premier Labradors.

Our mission is simple: to raise healthy, well-tempered English Labradors that bring the same love, companionship, and connection to other families that Charlotte brought to ours. Every puppy we raise is given the same care, attention, and socialization that we would want for our own family, because we know these puppies are not just going to homes. They are becoming part of someone's story.

Every breeding dog in our program is OFA health tested for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart. We do not prioritize quantity over quality. Our puppies are born inside our home, handled from day one, and raised through an early neurological stimulation program that builds confidence and adaptability. By the time they go home with their families, they are ready.

We are selective about where our puppies go because we care deeply about where they end up. We stay in contact with our families long after the puppy has gone home and stand behind every dog we place with a full health guarantee. This is not a transaction. It is the beginning of a relationship, and we take that seriously.

"We are honored to share our passion for this incredible breed."

Hands down one of the best breeders I have dealt with. Gabriela and Bradley were super friendly from the first phone call all the way to picking up our new boy. The care they put into their dogs is above and beyond and it shows. I can't say enough good things about Patton Premier Labradors.
